Creative Possibilities

“Creativity can bring a lot of joy into our lives… if we let it. As we go through the daily motions: …Wake up. Go to work. Run errands. Come home. Have dinner. Watch TV. Go to bed. Rise. Repeat.”, our favourite activities can be left behind.

Through the arts, through interactions with others or in the activities of our daily lives, creativity can unlock the rigidity of these motions, bringing a sense of satisfaction and well-being.

Quilting

Alkeiya facilitated the making of community quilts – this is her favorite:

Centre of Bird Quilt

Bird Quilt in shops

Fish Quilt

Mozaic

A concrete floor became a alive …many pictures created by different people …a group creation.

Drama

Performers of playback theatre – an improvised form of theatre that plays back audiences stories. …Theatre that is a collaboration of players and audience.

Field of Play

The Field of Play is a model of the creative process as inspired by the work of Carolyn Kenny, a Canadian Music Therapist. By considering this “Field of Play” it is possible to become more aware of the elements involved.

Ritual, State of Consciousness, Empowerment and Creativity are all elements of the process in a 'Field of Play', the product of which is the Aesthetic – the beauty, in the doing, of the connection of self and others in the space.

In the Field of Play, the creative process is the product.

An understanding of the existence of each of these four elements, gives a deeper appreciation of the Aesthetic, of what is created. This also helps the facilitation of further creativity whether in therapy, teaching or the community.

Ritual: patterns of time, place, participants, materials used eg with music songs,instruments,

Landfill Harmonic

The Picture Box Orchestra is fantastic at live music-making… creating music together under the masterful control of Alies Sluiter, they produce hypnotic, evocative and exquisite music, a virtual cornucopia of sounds from around the world. Powerful and complex music, that is staggeringly well played.
